IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,097, dated September 18, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Trronns HALL, of Bergen, county of Hudson, State of New Jersey, haveiuvented a new and useful Improvement in Lamps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification.

This improvement consists in so arranging the deflecting-cone and chimney-holder of a lamp that said cone and chimney-holder can be moved from oft the lower part of the burner (containing the Wick-tube) a suffieient distance to light and trim the lamp with ease, as shown in Figure 1.

The peculiarity consistsin two double-hi1] ged connections, A and B, Fig. 1. These connections are formed of curved pieces of metal, so arranged that when the burner is closed the curved pieces or wires fit close around the burner, as shown in Fig. 2, either outside or inside of rim of burner, as may be desired.

The arrangementis such that the chimney is at all times parallel with its position when in usethat is, perpendicular-by having the length of the connections equal, or nearly equal, to each other.

The stop (J, Fig. 1, is to prevent the chimney from being thrown too far from the center of the lamp or burner, and to enable the co11- meeting-wires to bear the weight of the chimney, with more case.

I am aware of the Patent (No.42,05)of Mr. Gross, and do not claim the arrangement as used by him, but only the combination as de scribed in this specification.

'What'I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The connections A and B and stop G, substantially as described, for the purposes set forth.

itnesses:

W. H. YEAGER, GEORGE B. BURLL.
